Chapter 155: She could die at any time

"Prepare for defibrillation."

At the doctor's order, Shi Heng's heart tightened.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to that day in the Sozali refugee camp three years ago.

That day, the ambassador handed him a bright red "Martyr Certificate," sentencing his sister to death and dragging himself into an abyss from which he could never recover.

He thought that meeting Shi Yi again three years later was God's mercy on him.

But he didn't expect...

Was God still unwilling to forgive him?!

"Doctor, what exactly happened to my sister? How did she suddenly become so serious?"

Shi Heng asked with a trembling voice, "Clearly, just a moment ago, she was fine..."

"Please move aside!"

The doctor had no time to explain to Shi Heng. He tore open the electrode pads with one hand and stuck them on Shi Yi's chest. The cold gel slid down in small water marks during the bumps.

"Charge 200 joules—"

In the next second, the current surged through her body.

Shi Yi's body arched upward as if pulled by an invisible thread, and then fell heavily back onto the stretcher.

A mouthful of dark red blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, unconsciously.

It stung Shi Heng's eyes.

The doctor stared at the monitor, his knuckles turning white from clenching his fists. However, the curve representing the heartbeat only jumped in vain twice before turning into a desperate straight line.

"Do it again, 360 joules!"

The doctor ordered through gritted teeth.

Just then, the ambulance happened to run over a puddle on the road, and the car tilted violently. Shi Heng immediately supported Shi Yi's body. At that moment, he saw the electrode pads leave two deep red marks on Shi Yi's chest.

"Yi'er!"

Shi Heng could no longer hold back, and hot tears fell onto Shi Yi's pale skin.

"Add epinephrine, 0.5 mg!"

The cold liquid was injected into Shi Yi's body. The doctor pressed the defibrillation button again and counted the rhythm, starting to press on Shi Yi's chest.

"One, two, three!"

The monitor flickered in the bumps.

Shi Yi's lips turned a cyan-purple, like frost-bitten flower petals...

On the other side, Qin Hao Bei sent Xiao Shiliu back to the Qin family.

"Will Mom die?"

The little boy pulled on his uncle's clothes, looked up with a pair of teary eyes, and asked cautiously.

Qin Hao Bei squatted down and gently wiped the tears from his face.

"How could Mom die? Mom will definitely live a long life."

"But, but..."

Xiao Shiliu lowered his head and sobbed silently, looking as if he would shatter in the next second.

"My Sister Xiaoman Mom died."

The child's words pierced Qin Hao Bei's heart with pain.

"Sister Xiaoman Mom was killed by bad guys to protect the innocent elderly and children in Africa. Uncle promises you, I will definitely catch all the bad guys in this world! Protect your Xing'er Mom well, okay?"

Xiao Shiliu nodded while sobbing.

"Okay."

"When I grow up, I will also become someone like Uncle, catch bad guys, and protect Mom... sob, sob, sob..."

Qin Hao Bei comforted Xiao Shiliu again and handed the child to Father Qin and Mother Qin.

"Dad, Mom, take good care of Xiao Shiliu."

Mother Qin asked worriedly:

"How is Xing'er now? Why did she suddenly vomit blood and faint? Is it... the Ebola virus acting up?"

"I don't know..."

Qin Hao Bei was full of self-blame. He remembered that not long ago, when Xing'er came to pick up Xiao Shiliu, her state wasn't very good.

If he had cared about Xing'er a little more then, it would have been fine.

However, not only did he not ask about her health, but he also had an argument with Xing'er because of the blind date!

He was such a bastard!

"Mom, I'm going to the hospital first."

Qin Hao Bei left a sentence and turned to run into the car.

Half an hour later, Qin Hao Bei rushed to the hospital.

"Excuse me, how is the patient who was just sent from Fisherman's Wharf?!"

"She should still be in the rescue room on the 3rd floor."

"Thank you."

Qin Hao Bei came to the 3rd-floor corridor and saw Shi Heng sitting on a long bench at a glance. His white shirt was stained with a dark red bloodstain on the chest, and he looked like a walking corpse, looking down at the floor in a daze.

"How is Xing'er?"

Shi Heng shook his head and didn't say a word.

"Shi Heng, speak! How is Xing'er?!"

Qin Hao Bei grabbed Shi Heng by the collar.

He saw Shi Heng's eyes were red and covered with bloodshot eyes, as if he had cried.

This young man, the richest man in Lanwan, known as the "Jade-Faced Yama," was now as helpless as a child, and suddenly said:

"Qin Hao Bei, can you tell me... how did she survive three years ago?"

"What the hell do you mean? I'm asking you how Xing'er is?!"

Qin Hao Bei's heart sank when he saw Shi Heng's reaction. He had no time to beat around the bush with Shi Heng.

"I don't know... I don't know..."

Shi Heng shook his head desperately and said painfully:

"I don't know why she suddenly got so bad, I don't know what medical history she has, what hidden illnesses she has, I don't even know how she survived three years ago... I really don't know..."

Just then, a "bang" was heard, and the door of the emergency room was pushed open from the inside.

A doctor walked out hurriedly and said with a serious face:

"Confirmed, the patient has an acute attack of the Ebola virus! However, because she only has one kidney, it is impossible to judge whether her body can withstand large-scale antiviral drugs..."

Qin Hao Bei's gaze shot out sharp blades:

"What do you mean?! Are you just going to let the patient wait for death?!"

The doctor hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"That's not what I mean. I mean, because our hospital's experience in rescuing Ebola patients is very limited, it can be said... this is the first time we are rescuing a patient with an acute Ebola attack. We can only follow the international medical standards, but the patient's condition is a bit complicated, so there will be certain risks, and we must inform the family..."

"What risks? Speak clearly!"

"The worst risk, of course, is death..." the doctor said hesitantly.

Qin Hao Bei's heart trembled.

"What did you say? Why is it like this? Aren't you the best hospital in Lanwan? Why don't you even have a doctor who can treat Ebola patients! I demand that you immediately dispatch an experienced doctor!"

"However, the patient's condition is very urgent. Her heartbeat is not going up, and her oxygen saturation has dropped to the critical point. If we don't take measures immediately to suppress the virus, she could be in life-threatening danger at any time," the doctor said helplessly and truthfully.

Qin Hao Bei's breathing trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips turning white.

"Is there no other way?!"

The doctor shook his head. "There is no other way at the moment. Please make a decision, family."

Qin Hao Bei turned his head to look at Shi Heng.

Shi Heng was squatting in the corner, holding his head in his hands, choked with sobs and unable to speak.

Just then, a calm voice suddenly came from the corridor:

"I'll do the surgery." ===== CHAPTER 156 =====
